    Photocatalytic self cleaning exterior paint

    I am looking for a high end photo-catalytic self cleaning exterior paint that incorporates Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Nano technology. Would prefer German, Japanese or Singaporean manufactured brands like A*STAR or Herbol-Symbiotec paint based on BASF's nanobinder COL.9 or better, as I want a long lasting high end finish.

    If anybody knows of a commercial paint supplier in HK that specialises in this exterior paint treatment I would be appreciative of any info and would like to purchase a 3000ft2 house worth of paint, and enough to coat a 2 car carport, front terrace & rear courtyard walls. So it will be a moderately large quantity.

    HK Island or Kowloon side suppliers are fine, am willing to travel if I can get what I want..

    Thanks in advance

    Can you go online and find the local distributors here?

    ICI Dulux is part of the same group as Herbol (Akzo Nobel)

    Their local website is here ICI Dulux Hong Kong

    I checked the ICI website earlier before I posted this message and there was no mention of this paint on their site. They listed everything but, photo catalytic exterior paints.

    I'll give them a call, now that I know that Akzo Nobel is the brand name sold in HK.

    Thanks for that FTH.

    I worked in the industrial and protective coatings for many years and haven't heard of that before.

    Might be worth getting a coating specification done. One of the issues you will have is applying over the current substrate and making sure it will not get contamination.
